The girl's father, Eddie said he'll be taking her back to western Kentucky to raise her.

She suffered a broken leg, damaged liver and had to have more than a foot of her intestines removed, but doctors say she's going to be fine physically. Her dad says he's thrilled with her progress but had little to say about the man accused of doing this to her. Eddie says he's really just focused on his daughter now. The first thing he wants to do when she gets her cast off is teach her to roller skate.
